Does ‘A Minecraft Movie' Have A Post-Credits Scene? Here's Why You Should Stay Seated
A Minecraft Movie
A Minecraft Movie finally arrived in theaters on April 4. If you're planning to watch the star-studded adventure film based on the beloved video game series, you may be wondering whether it includes a mid- or end-credits scene that hints at a possible sequel.
Inspired by the popular sandbox video game, A Minecraft Movie follows four misfits—Henry (Sebastian Eugene-Hansen), Natalie (Emma Myers), former gaming champ Garrett "The Garbage Man" Garrison (Jason Momoa), and Dawn (Danielle Brooks)—who are suddenly pulled into the cubic world of Minecraft. To get back home, they must embark on a magical adventure with expert crafter, Steve (Jack Black), and battle zombies, pigs, and endermen.
'A mysterious portal pulls four misfits into the Overworld, a bizarre, cubic wonderland that thrives on imagination," according to the synopsis. 'To get back home, they'll have to master the terrain while embarking on a magical quest with an unexpected crafter named Steve.'
The movie is projected to earn between $70 million and $80 million in its opening weekend, with some estimates reaching as high as $90 million, according to Variety. A Minecraft Movie has already brought in $10.55 million from Thursday previews, marking a strong box office debut for Warner Bros. and a much-needed win following disappointing performances from The Alto Knights and Mickey 17.

Yes, A Minecraft Movie includes both a mid-credits and a post-credits scene. In fact, there are two bonus scenes for viewers to enjoy after the main story wraps up.
The first scene appears shortly after the credits begin and ties into a recurring gag from the film. The second plays at the very end, so it's worth staying through the entire credits to see it.
Warning: Spoilers ahead for the end of A Minecraft Movie.

The first mid-credits scene picks up the unexpected love story between Chuglas' school vice principal, Marlene (Jennifer Coolidge), and her new Villager boyfriend. While Nitwit had previously only spoken in Villager grunts, the scene reveals he's learned to speak human, and he uses his new skill to confess his love. Their love has "transcended the barriers of conventional speech,' he says, explaining that he can now speak human, and Marlene has learned to understand Villager. Nitwit then proposes, and Marlene says yes!
Meanwhile, in the end-credits scene, Steve returns to the real world and visits the house he abandoned. The new owner welcomes him inside, and though her face is never shown, she introduces herself as Alex—making her second default Minecraft player skin to appear in the film. Her arrival means she'll likely have a role to play in a potential A Minecraft Movie sequel, along with the mysterious chest tucked away in her attic.

‘The Handmaid's Tale' Emmy Plans: Elisabeth Moss' Surprise Directing Episode Choice, Alexis Bledel Goes for Guest Actress Despite New Rules (EXCLUSIVE)
Blessed be the Emmys rulebook, but it needs some serious updating. With 'The Handmaid's Tale' having taken its final bow, Hulu has confirmed its official Emmy submissions for the critically acclaimed drama, with one entry in particular already causing waves. More from Variety Elisabeth Moss on Saying Goodbye to 'Handmaid's Tale' (for Now), How Motherhood Changed Her Approach to June and That Perfect Ending: 'Television Gold' 'Running Point' Costume Designer on Kate Hudson's Power Suits: 'Why Not Have Her Femininity Be Her Superpower?' Elisabeth Moss on Coming Full-Circle in 'The Handmaid's Tale' Finale: 'I Can't Imagine It Ending Any Other Way' Variety has learned exclusively that the streamer has submitted Alexis Bledel in the guest drama actress category for her appearance in the series finale ('610 – The Handmaid's Tale'), despite a newly enforced Emmy rule disqualifying actors who have been previously nominated in a lead or supporting category for the same show. Bledel won the Emmy for guest in 2017, and garnered two additional noms in the same category in 2020 and 2021. However, in 2018, after appearing in seven of the 13 episodes for a season, she was ineligible to compete as a guest; she was submitted and eventually nominated for supporting drama actress. The one-year recognition for her character, Ofglen, appears to fall outside the bounds of eligibility, but the streamer is hopeful the TV Academy will consider her circumstances. Insiders say Hulu expects the TV Academy to reclassify Bledel's submission to supporting drama actress before ballots are opened on June 12. But as of now, no decision has been issued. The rule aims to clarify what defines a 'guest' star. According to the new guidelines, any actor previously nominated in a lead or supporting role for a series can no longer be considered a guest, regardless of how briefly they appear in the series' new season. The policy has already drawn industry-wide criticism and confusion. Meryl Streep, for instance, was ruled ineligible for guest consideration for her turn in Hulu's 'Only Murders in the Building' — despite appearing in just four episodes — and will instead compete in the supporting comedy actress category due to her previous nom. Meanwhile, Paul Rudd, playing a new character in the same series, was nearly eligible as a guest but was in one episode too many, exposing inconsistencies with the changes. The guidelines have created more ambiguity than clarity. There should be a fundamental difference between a major series lead attempting to go guest and a long-time supporting player who has only occasionally appeared in a new season. Industry voices argue that the change unfairly penalizes performers with limited screen time who have previously been recognized — especially when those appearances are few and far between. Some believe this growing backlash will prompt the Emmys to consider revisions ahead of future cycles. Despite the rule conflict, 'The Handmaid's Tale' still remains a formidable force in this year's Emmy race. The drama, which concluded its six-season run on Monday, has garnered 76 nominations and 15 wins over its lifetime — including a historic outstanding drama series win in its first season, the first ever for a streaming platform. This year, Hulu submitted 36 entries for the show across both Primetime and Creative Arts categories. Notable acting entries include Elisabeth Moss for lead actress and for helming the penultimate episode, 'Execution,' which is somewhat surprising considering long-running shows often reserve their final episodes for consideration. However, the episode that sees many favorite characters' shocking deaths is more visually striking, partnered with June screaming, 'Don't let the bastards grind you down' as she's being hanged. In addition, Bradley Whitford, Max Minghella, and O-T Fagbenle will vie in the supporting actor race, while Yvonne Strahovski, Samira Wiley, and Ann Dowd will seek love in supporting actress. Guest actress submissions beyond Bledel include Emmy winners Cherry Jones (episode 602) and D'Arcy Carden (episode 608). Hulu's complete 2025 Emmy submission list for 'The Handmaid's Tale' includes: Variety Awards Circuit: Outstanding Drama Series: Bruce Miller, Eric Tuchman, Yahlin Chang, Warren Littlefield, Elisabeth Moss, and others.

‘The Studio' and ‘Hacks' Are Two of the Best Shows Ever About Hollywood — But Are They Too Inside or PTSD-Inducing?
Hollywood seems to always take that cliché 'write what you know' to heart when it comes to producing scripts about Hollywood. I enjoy those tales, of course, but that's because my chosen profession is to report on this fascinating business. There's clearly enough money, creativity, mystery, farce, scandal, glamour and spectacle for us to cover every single day at Variety. And all of the stuff that makes for good copy also makes for entertaining TV and film plot lines. So perhaps we shouldn't be surprised that three of this year's biggest Emmy comedy contenders play in that space: 'Hacks,' 'The Studio' and 'Only Murders in the Building.' All three have quite a bit of fun with industry tropes, and come a little too close for comfort with some of its satire. And they even crash into each other: 'Hacks' creators Lucia Aniello, Jen Statsky and Paul W. Downs cameo as themselves on an episode of 'The Studio,' while Ron Howard is among this year's hot TV trends, playing himself on both 'The Studio' and 'Only Murders.' More from Variety How 'The Studio,' 'Yellowjackets,' 'Monsters' and 'White Lotus' Make Bad Behavior Appealing Emmy Voters Don't Forget: The Powerful Women of 'The Righteous Gemstones' 'Handmaid's Tale' and 'Day of the Jackal' Producers on Rewriting Literary Worlds With TV Adaptations So, we always ask, do audiences outside Hollywood get the jokes, or care? Sometimes, yes. The entertainment business as a series setting goes back to the early days of TV, as even 'I Love Lucy' had a bit of showbiz as its backdrop. Then came 'The Dick Van Dyke Show,' a TV show about the making of a TV show that won the outstanding comedy Emmy three times. HBO built an entire network partly on the premise of shows about show biz — 'The Larry Sanders Show,' 'Entourage,' 'Curb Your Enthusiasm,' 'The Comeback.' (I'm not including 'The Idol' there, for obvious reasons.) One of Netflix's best early shows was the animated 'BoJack Horseman.' But just as often, it seems like shows about the biz nail it with critics and awards, but audiences are less interested. In TV circles, we still talk about Fox's groundbreaking 1999 comedy 'Action,' about a nasty Hollywood producer played by Jay Mohr, but it was canceled after eight episodes. They added a laugh track to ABC's 'Sports Night' in a desperate attempt to make it work. NBC's '30 Rock' won three consecutive comedy Emmys and is beloved by many — yet was never a megahit. Comedy Central and HBO Max gave us three fantastic seasons of 'The Other Two,' but I'm still angry at all of you who didn't watch. I think audiences are watching 'Hacks' (especially this season as Deborah Vance tackles talk), 'The Studio' (the best biz parody in years) and 'Only Murders' (which addressed Hollywood this season) because they're just damn good. But in the industry, they're elevated because we feel a special kinship with them — and that's OK. I'm hearing from a lot of execs in the business who bristle at 'The Studio' because some of its cringe is a little too close to home. I decided to do an experiment on LinkedIn and ask other industry folk whether these shows give them PTSD. I was delighted to learn that, for the most part, it's a no, that they enjoy seeing the satire. 'It's fun for this 10-year Warner Bros. vet to get more glimpses of that classic old lot,' one exec says of 'Hacks.' Former CBS research exec Eric Steinberg says he sees 'lots of relatable moments in 'Hacks' now that the main character has her own show. It will be no surprise to you that I found the audience research episode particularly fun. And, the exteriors at TV City bring back lots of memories. PTSD? Hardly!' Communications exec Stacey Luchs adds, 'There are moments that really hit home — the kind of thing people outside the entertainment world probably wouldn't believe. Sometimes it feels like I'm in on an inside joke, and it just makes me smile.' My former (and longtime) Variety colleague Steve Gaydos perhaps says it best: 'The writers of 'Hacks' and 'The Studio' have been reading our mail. But Billy Wilder turned it into art 75 years ago with 'Sunset Boulevard.' He didn't just shoot fish in a barrel. His fish had souls, and their fates mattered — then and just as much now, on stage with music and on screens of all sizes in black and white. That's the ultimate achievement and though these current TV shows contain moments of pathos, it will take time before we can measure their memorability.'
